The University of Texas System's audit revealed the termination of a costly $62 million collaboration between MD Anderson Cancer Center and IBM's Watson, initiated to develop the Oncology Expert Advisor for enhancing cancer care. Despite significant investments, the project, begun in 2012, faced numerous delays and scope expansions, ultimately covering only a limited range of cancers and failing to integrate with MD Anderson's electronic medical records. This termination occurred amidst the center's financial struggles, leading to job cuts, and while IBM defended the project's potential, MD Anderson seeks new partners to possibly revive it.

OpenAI has seen significant turnover in its top leadership, with co-founder John Schulman leaving to join rival Anthropic, and another co-founder, Greg Brockman, taking a year-long leave of absence. Earlier this year, other key figures including safety team leaders and a prominent product manager also departed. These exits, although not directly related, raise concerns about the stability and direction of the company, potentially fueling fears that profit motives are overshadowing AI safety. OpenAI has attempted to reassure stakeholders by reaffirming commitments to AI safety, but internal and external pressures remain high.

Amazon is working with major health systems including Advocate Health Care, Mass General Brigham, and Mount Sinai to explore the application of AI for enhancing patient care and operational efficiency. Collaborations extend to insurers like Blue Shield and Prime Therapeutics. They aim to use AI for insights and automate administrative tasks through technologies like computer vision and natural language processing. Among their projects, HealthScribe is a notable service that leverages generative AI to create clinical notes from doctor-patient interactions while being HIPAA-compliant. This focus on AI aligns with other tech giants like Google and Microsoft's subsidiary Nuance, which are also integrating AI into healthcare services.

KnowBe4, a US security firm, discovered it had unknowingly hired a North Korean hacker who attempted to install malware within its network. CEO Stu Sjouwerman reported that the intruder used a stolen US-based identity and an AI-enhanced photo to pass standard hiring processes, including video interviews and background checks. Although no data breach occurred, the incident, now under FBI investigation, was detected when the hire's activities triggered security alerts from the company's Security Operations Center (SOC). The infiltrator had logged in remotely, likely from North Korea, using a VPN. KnowBe4 emphasized the importance of this incident as an organizational learning moment.
